Prior Planning and Preparation Prevents... I'll let you look that one up...
Scheduling and timetabling is a great place to start, but what you can also do is timetable activities other than work - meals, chores, 'chill out time'. It sounds like school all over again, but not having to worry about time gives you the mindset to get down and focus on your tasks. It also makes those breaks between work worth so much more. Get creative with your timetable too!

Get work done as soon as you have it rather than waiting until right before it's due. Make yourself a schedule, and be sure to include time to relax.

The best solutions for getting started on a big task is to break it up into small steps. And, do it quickly! Don't avoid the project! The problem is that the longer we avoid it, the closer we get to due dates which causes more stress. When the overwhelming work becomes something small you can focus on, it becomes much easier to tackle and your focused-brain can hone in on exactly what you need to do.

An important question to ask yourself is: Are you taking on more than you can handle? Once you have sorted that out, a good way I found to cope with increasing workload is breaking it down and writing a 'to do list' This way, everything you have to do is clear on paper for you and you can cross it off as you go- giving you a feeling of accomplishment. Before you know it, you'll be finish and ready for the next challenge. Hope this helps :)
